Recovery
Deslongchamps Recovery
Our recovery program is where our clients learn how to live
life again. We do not just aim for our clients to stop their harmful addictions
or to just replace old behaviors with
new ones, our aim is for our clients to succeed in their personal lives, to thrive
and be happy.
Here is where our clients come to us for actual recovery.
This may be a new idea for some. Often we see recovery programs that are 15 to
45 days claiming to be a recovery solution. We know that recovery in that short
amount of time is not likely. We do not wish to accuse or blame any other
services because there are a few good recovery centers and programs in the
world. But because we are a complete transformational recovery program we go
above and beyond regular programs. We know that it takes a lot more time than
that to successfully recover, and not relapse after leaving a program. We care
about our clients lives after they have left our programs.
We will always be honest with you, recovery is not a quick, short
process. There is no magic program that erases the situation. It takes one second to stop engaging in the
addiction that is true, however recovery is a journey of self discovery and
growth if it is going to last, it takes time to understand why you became addicted
in the first place, then to recreate yourself.
Recovery programs exist to guide the person through their
journey of recovery, offering guidance and education that brings awareness into
misunderstood realities. We explain to our clients that they didnt get into
their current situation in a few days, it was a process, one poor choice after
another that got them to where they are today. Recovery will require them to
gradually make one good choice after another.
Failure is not accomplished by one action one day, failure
is accomplished by making one bad decision after another in sequences and over
time the thing became a failure. Success is the same except in the way that one
good decision was made in sequence one after another and it became with time a
success.
Recovery works the same way.
We have separated our program into sections because not
everyone is in the same place in their recovery jurney.
Not all of our clients are families, we have several clients
who are single individuals. Their recovery is usually much easier and shorter
to gain momentum compared to our clients who have families that have been destroyed
along the way.
We have amazing teen programs as well. We go out of the normal
program guidelines for each client, but we really go out of our way to help the
children who have been exposed to addiction, and who are addicted themselves.
Our heart belongs to the children who are and have suffered from the
devastation of addictions.
We are always about healing families, often what we find is that a client has been
blamed for so long about everything that has gone wrong in the families lives
that they are all under the impression that if our clients just get help all
the problems will go away. Which of course is not necessarily the reality. That
depends on how long the spouse has been picking up the pieces and how long the
children have been exposed to addiction. The longer the family has been traumatized
by the harmful environment which always comes along with a family member who is
engaging in harmful addictions, the more damage has been done. We have a look
at the family situation as we go along in the program.
We have others who have waited too long to stop their
harmful behaviors and have found themselves without their family in their
everyday lives. Some of our clients have been involved with their addictions so
long that they are not even in communication with their family anymore. All of
our clients situations are different, that is why we chose to divide our
program into separate steps of recovery. The sections of our program are
detoxification, the solution which is the one discussed here, and recovery.
In our Solution portion of our program we understand that it
takes a while after someone has changed their behaviors to have an honest look
at themselves, it takes a while after they have begun their own personal healing
to be able to get out of themselves to be able to see the trail of destruction
they left behind during their addiction. For a while they are in a place that they need
to focus solely on stopping and replacing their harmful behaviors and
addictions with positive one, that requires the complete attention and
dedication of each client to accomplish it.
It is not easy to change, in order to change you must want
it almost as much as you want to breathe. Our clients have reached a place in
life where they just cannot pay the high price of staying where they are inside
themselves. They have to change.
Our clients come to us for our recovery program for different
reasons. Keeping in mind our recovery program comes after the client has gotten
help to change. Now they need to learn how to live life again without their
addictions.
In this portion of our program we have clients who have completely
stopped their harmful behaviors and addictions for sometime. The client has
come to a point of understanding that now they must repair the damage that was
done while they were engaged in their addictions.
What we see a lot with our clients who have families that
have suffered along with them throughout their addictions is that the client
gets the help they need to change their lives and stop their addictions, they
leave their program and go home expecting everything to be great again, only to
be met by angry kids and a spouse who is hopeless, burned out, depleted of any positivity
because they have gotten use to the destruction at home. So the client goes
home and home life is too hard because the family has been hurt too long.
Often what happens is that they completely miss the
importance of repairing the damage in their families lives that they have
caused. We cannot say it enough that not fixing their children before they
become adults is a dangerous mistake. The whole family must get healing help as
well. We have an amazing family recovery
program, it is actually the only one like it in the world.
Our clients realize now that it is a process if they are
going to beat this misery and hurt. They have to learn how to live again and
like we said before repair the damage done to themselves and others while their
addictions were active.
Some of our clients stopped their addictions on their own, and have come to us for recovery because, they are still not sure what to do with themselves. They realize that recovery is not only about quitting their addictions, a complete successful recovery is one that leads to personal happiness.
A lot of our clients come to us for this portion of the
program because even though it has been a long time since they have stopped
their harmful addictions, they are worried about the long term effects their
earlier behaviors had on their families. Perhaps their children are getting
older and they are starting to see signs of negative behaviors in their own
children.
More and more studies have proven the long term effects on
children who were exposed to a parent that engaged in harmful addictions are
scary and sad. The children were traumatized when our clients were addicted,
and that trauma is still there silently waiting to be expressed through
negative coping behaviors. So, perhaps our clients are happy now in their
lives, they want to repair the damage that was done to their children, so they
come to us for a family recovery program.
We have a few clients who reach out to us for sober
companionship because our coaches and companions are the best in the world.
Some stay with our clients for a year, some just for the occassional event or small
time frames. Whatever their requirements are, we see to it.
More of our clients have been with us through it all
starting in detoxification, then through the solution part of our program, and
now the recovery portion . Others jumped into our program at the solution part
because they didn’t need detoxification. Some we are seeing for the first time
here in the recovery portion.
Stopping the addiction is only part of the process of
recovery. Recovery means to find something that was lost. Our approach on
recovery is to bring our clients to that place of happiness again. To feeling
whole, complete, worth living a good life, and being held accountable for the
lives that need repairing due to their actions.
We cannot tell you enough about the importance of family
recovery. That is where our heart truly lies. For our single clients that have
no children or spouses, it is still difficult but it is a less complex
recovery. We have expressed our concerns all over google about the long term
effects addiction has on a family. Addiction is a family devastation and
therefore must be a family recovery solution. Even though it may have only been
one person using harmful substances or engaged in harmful behaviors, it
effected the whole family to devastation.
In this part of the recovery program is where we truly
recover everyone back to new. Including family members or our single clients. Regardless
of what situations we find our clients in, we guide them into the greatest
versions of themselves.
In our family recovery program, each family member gets a
individualized, unique healing recovery program that is tailor made to their
specific needs and situations. Please do not keep the cycle going, help
yourself and help your family succeed as well.
We know first hand the horror that awaits if the whole
family is not recovered and healed. There is nothing that is worse than you getting
the help you need and stopping your addictions, everything appears to be great
, the children are still young, your spouse has agreed to give it another shot,
you’ve been better for a long time now, then your children grow up and follow
in the cycle of addiction and trauma, at that point all you can do is sit there
helplessly, with your mouth wide open, tears streaming down your face as you
watch your own children go through similar addictions and behaviors that you
did. We cannot explain the amount of regret that comes with that reality for
not doing your homework and finding out for yourself the effects your behaviors
had on your children when they were younger. If we can save just one person
from that devastation then it was worth ever mile.
We never said addictions had to be substances, we always
included the word behaviors, because working all the time and being away from
home while your children are growing up, brings a whole parade of devastation
to all who is concerned, regardless of the reasons why you over work, even
though you are doing it for your family, the effects are horrific on your
children.
Whatever your situation is, wherever you are on the globe we
can help you. We specialize in thorough, indepth recovery solutions. We have
some clients who are too busy to get away, our incredible team goes to them in
the comfort of their own homes and we work around their schedules. Since everyone
has their own individualized program, this works out fine. Yes, even for teens.
We strongly recommend our world wide healing vacation
experience if you can make that happen.
We are at your service, we are here to help anyway that we
can.
